Hi, All

I have recently had a site made for me by a designer but what he didnt tell me was it wasnt in html and i would then need to get someone to make the site he just did the design and tbf it wasnt cheap.

I am now stuck with a site which isnt going to be working and i need someone to help me asap

Anyone have any ideaS?

If I understand you correctly your designer has done just that - designed a site for you and presumably, from what I'm hearing, delivered it to you as perhaps a photoshop file.

Unfortunately I guess you didn't understand what your designer was going to deliver nor did your designer understand what you were expecting. It's very important to have a clear understanding of the scope of work and deliverables at the outset. There is often a grey line between designing and developing - many developers do both but this is not always the case for designers who may design anything from a web site to a wedding invitation.

That said your next step will be for you to get that design coded as an outer layout for Actinic. For that you will need an html coder/developer.

The site in the signature is Actinic and working?

What you on about Kevin, it's a functioning actinic site.

Ditto duncan's post. It is quite usual for a designer to "design" a site and deliver it as a psd or similar. Designers often do not know html, coders often can't do good visuals.

I often use a designer for this purpose - they have the creative idea that i can convert to a website. TBH the best sites i've done have been those where i had sufficient budget to pay a designer.

Now you need a coder/developer to take the psd and use it to create a website ie working html/css.

Lee, perhaps we need to do 'Find all Posts by.....'

Maybe it's a different url as he has more than one.

You do not have any contact info here on the forum, if you are really looking for help you need to provide a means of contacting you.

[Duncan Rounding]

If you post something as 'urgent' and want help Kevin then please be check back frequently or subscribe to receive notifcations of replies to your post otherwise I and others I suspect find posts like this quite frustrating.

Comments have been added by a number of people (even over the bank holiday weekend) but you have yet to respond to your 'urgent' post and are not even contactable via the forum.

TBH i ignored the URGENT as once the post was read it was apparant that he wasn't going to get a website by the end of the day...

More often that not a post marked urgent never is.

That's cutting it a bit fine (OK, very fine) if your designer has only supplied a PSD design, which requires coding and then integrated with Actinic. A few weeks is usually where most designers are targeting.

Hi,

I cam understand this but if someone was able to help me and could do it for a resonable price I would be willing to wait for it.

[leehack]

What do you call a reasonable price?

[zenicman9]

£600 And Less

Maybe the graphic designer wasn't so expensive, probably just a misunderstanding on the time things take more than anything.
